New Preservica Application Drives Greater Efficiency and Transparency for UK
Local Government Records

OXFORD, UK / ACCESSWIRE / October 3, 2024 / Preservica
(https://pr.report/36k3) , a recognized leader in Active Digital
Preservation™, has launched a new edition of its popular archiving software
that's purpose-designed to enable UK Local Authority record-keeping teams to
more efficiently maintain reliable, complete and retrievable long-term and
permanent digital records in alignment with their obligations under the UK
Public Records Act, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and UK GDPR (General
Data Protection Regulation).

Speed, automation and more efficient services

Developed in collaboration with its community of nearly 50 UK local authority
Records Offices and Archives, the new Preservica UK Local Government edition
(https://pr.report/37of)  comes ready-configured with folders, metadata and
workflows to enable record-keeping teams to rapidly create a trusted
repository for managing and protecting many different types of long-term
government records and digital formats including:

·      Democratic Services - Councils and Committees

·      Adult & Children services

·      Planning Land and Property

·      Transportation and Infrastructure

·      Registrations

·      Historical

Assured long-term access to government records

The application uses Preservica's unique Active Digital Preservation
(https://pr.report/36k5) ™ software to automatically ensure critical
long-term digital records remain reliable, complete and retrievable over
decades. This eliminates compliance risk by ensuring records are always
instantly accessible in readable and trusted file formats by departments for
operational needs or FOI handling.

The built-in citizen portal also enables public records to be quickly and
securely published online for more effective services and greater
transparency.

Part of the Microsoft 365 records workflow

The new UK Local Government edition also (optionally) connects with Microsoft
365 (https://pr.report/36k6)  to make the secure transfer and retrieval of
long-term records a seamless part of the everyday Microsoft SharePoint
workflow for government staff.

This drives further efficiency in records handling and enables record-keeping
teams to automate and standardise processes using existing Microsoft software
and tools such as Microsoft retention labels and Power Automate. Connections
to other common UK government applications and catalogue software are also
available.

Sam Johnston, Service Manager for Archives and Records at Dorset History
Centre adds "Preservica has given us a cost-effective way to securely
preserve and share our records via an online digital archive. Being able to
incorporate ready-configured folders, metadata and workflows for common
long-term record types will enable our team to drive even greater efficiency
in the handling of important records."

"Open and digital government creates new challenges in the way that long-term
digital information is captured, protected and made accessible, especially at
a time when public sector institutions are coming under pressure to deliver
greater efficiency and transparency," said Mike Quinn, CEO, Preservica. "The
need to digitally preserve information in a sustainable and automated way is
increasing each year and it is exciting to see a growing number of both local
and central government agencies adopting Preservica's software"
